Gregg Andrews

Andres gave us a lot of local information and details. However he did not come up with other things or a way to use our full allotted time. It was nice to see the area, but there is not a lot to do here in a six hour period as you cannot get into any significant hiking if interest is there and some of the national park features are easily seen elsewhere. We opted to see the towns and how people lived and worked in the area and that was interesting.

TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Dear Ms. Andrews.
Thank you for your advice, I will take in mind, but city tours is not the best place to hiking, If you compare with the National Park. Different excursions, different experiences.
Thank you for visit our country.

Roland Jones

Andres was a delightful guide with a very keen sense of humour! His communication skills are very good; he spoke of his personal experiences of living in the area in an entertaining manner. He took us to a viewpoint near the house where he was born and he covered many miles to ensure that we saw as much of the area as possible. Although we were some 90 minutes late meeting him at the port (ship's fault), he gave us the total amount of time paid for. He provided a snack too! He was great company.

TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Hello Roland Jones.
Thank you for your booking and feed back about my Job. I really apreciate your comments. I hope to see You again in Chile some day.

Everything was as advertised and more. Upon meeting Andres gave a run down on the day's itinerary and offered up options we selected the ones we wanted and off we went. He had us to the cruise terminal in good time and he took very good care of us. He made sure to meet special requests like shopping for an iphone charger cord and a grocery store visit.

TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Hello Mr. Juhnke.
Thank you for your feed back and I´m glad you spent a great time during your excursion for Frutillar, Puerto Varas and Puerto Montt, visiting Angelmo Market.

Andres met us punctually at the cruise port. In Frutillar we walked along the shore, taking many photos. He showed us some delicious cakes and we had to have a coffee stop! Then pisco sours in Puerto Varas and a good walk round. Unfortunately the weather was not kind to us, so the views were not as spectacular as we had hoped. We did not feel rushed and Andres stopped for us whenever we wanted. He was very patient! We had an interesting day and would recommend Andres without hesitation. Thank you, Andres!

We had the most wonderful day with Andres and Carlos. Everything was personalised perfection and everything I was looking for in booking a private tour for just the 2 of us. Snacks and drinks made up for us, doing the destinations based on what the weather was doing and avoiding the crowds off the cruise ship to maximise our trip, an amazing recommendation for local lunch based on what we are asked for and just the most perfect service with an amazing guide in a fantastic place.

We were a party of four arriving by Oceania cruise ship. Andres promptly met us at the cruise port and we set out for our tour. We headed to Llanquihue Lake, huge and beautiful, then on to visiting Osorno Volcano including hiking around the Petrohue Falls and visiting All Saints Lake. The area was spectular especially when the clouds broke and we were able to see Osorno. Andres was knowledgeable, very pleasant and did a great job showing us the sites around Puerto Montt. We would highly recommend.

TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Dear Dean!

Andres was an excellent guide. This full day tour was packed with interesting sights, especially Osorno Volcano, and Andres was knowledgeable and made it very enjoyable. We would highly recommend this tour.

Mervyn Groves

Andres and his team literally made our trip to Puerto Varas. The unpredictable weather dictates flexibility and having a local guide with Andres' knowledge, versatility and adaptable attitude turned a few damp days into very memorable expedition.
Trekking or traveling anywhere was a great learning experience. Andres' knowledge of wildlife, flora, geology, history and industry deeply enriched our experience.
I can't recommend this group highly enough; after journeying so far to see this beautiful area; max

Andres was great even with a very early start to the morning. Because of our early ship arrival he planned our day to avoid the large crowds and gave us a great insight into Chile and the Puerto Varas. The weather could not have been better and the great local lunch in Puerto Varas was a true joy and experience. The time in the National Park,falls and volcanos was just right and could not have had any better timing to avoid the crowds. Andres has a true passion for his country.

Andres responded to lots of questions from 18 passengers and strategically managed our Puerto Montt tour so that we avoided the cruise ship's tour groups. As a result we got to see the Osorno volcano clearly while most cruise passengers got there late only to see clouds obscuring the snow clad mountain top. He also showed us the Angelmo fish market where we got to sample the very tasty barnacals. A few of us also got to taste freshly made shrimp & cheese as well as seafood empanadas with fillo like dough

We had read reviews of Andres and were not disappointed. He is a WONDERFUL tour guide; it felt like we were visiting with a friend. He eagerly shared his knowledge, answered all the questions from our group of 4 (agriculture, wildlife, history, education and more). He tailored the tour based on our desires - a visit to a local market, lunch at La Ollita, helping us purchase gifts. He kept us engaged, giving us a real feel for the local region and Chile. We fully enjoyed our day in port thanks to Andres.

We had a wonderful tour with Andres even though the weather didn't cooperate with rain shrouding the Osorno Volcano. The Petrohue Falls area was fascinating. Andres was a great guide who kept the tour flexible and showed us what we were interested in seeing. He accompanied us during a hearty lunch in Puerto Varas and wandered with us through the town. He also took us to the fish market in Puerto Montt. We require a lot of dialog with our guides and Andres proved to be extremely knowledgeable.

Andres was a wonderful guide for our party of 10. Our only concern was the amount of shopping for which time was set aside.

This is a very beautiful tour, the volcanos and the scenery are wonderful. We were fortunate to have Andres as our guide - he is very experienced, knowledgeable about the flora and fauna and the geology, and professional. The snacks were great. We would have loved to have more time.

We have used Tours by locals for a few years now and the reason is because of people like Andres. "Top Notch" in every respect.....he knew where and WHEN to be at places to 'beat the big tour buses".....and this is very important. The scenery in Puerto Montt is breath taking and Andres made sure we saw all of it during our one day visit from our cruise ship. Thanks again!!

We worked with Andres to create a 2-day custom tour around Puerto Varas and Punta Arenas. The first day was spent visiting the local markets that are far off the usual tourist itinerary. Including lunch at a local restaurant, and despite the weather being less than cooperative, the day was outstanding and filled with many memories. Day 2, volcanoes, waterfalls, and national parks. Andres created many great photo opportunities and the day was outstanding. A great guide and local expert. Well recommended.

TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Hola Mark & Andrea!
Thank you for your kind recommendations and I´m very glad to hear you spent a great time visiting our Local Markets, tasting our local cuisine and taking photos of our National Parks and their Volcanoes and Lakes!

We were on a cruise Apr.11 docking in Puerto Montt. We met our tour guide from Tours By Locals outside the container port gate as some guides are not able to go inside.Despite this being an area of high rainfall, we had a beautiful day. If you are looking for a guide, Andres is fantastic. His English is excellent. His sense of humour & personality, wonderful. Alex is a safe driver who allows you to enjoy the day. What more can we say other than thanks for a wonderful day.

Gary Hoffman

Andres was AMAZING. He spoke English VERY well (I would consider him fluent in English). He was very friendly AND very knowledgeable. He explained everything available for our all day tour, then gave us options if we wanted to alter the excursion. He was prompt picking us up at port and dropped us off at the port entrance on time. I felt this was the best tour guide and excursion on our cruise (we took 5 private excursions).

Andres picked us up at the airport and took us to our hotel two hours away and, on another day, prepared a taylor-made tour for us.He was GREAT on both occasions!On the day of the tour,he offered to take us to visit a waterfall which was not on the plan. We LOVED the unexpected hike and he and his driver made sure we were all cared for (we were traveling with my elderly parents - who he was very attentive to, since we were walking on irregular ground - and my two young sons). He always had snacks for us!

Andres was very helpful when it came to some changes in our plans. His detailed knowledge of the area was exactly what we were looking for. During our brief visit we got to see more of the sites than we would ever have with an "off-the-ship-and-on-the-bus" tour.

TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Thank for your feedback, as a Toursbylocals Guide, we tried to give our guest the best service as we can.
I really appreciate people like you and friends who are very interesting in our local roots and enjoy our marvelous Nature.
Best regards,
Andres
